I've built my first computer for my cousin, we had a bunch of snags but I'm still delighted...
But MY problem is that my RDRAM, which has the same specs won't install on my Dell Dimension 8200 (which uses RDRAM) I've tried fitting it in but it just won't move. I can get one side into the deep slot, but the second I try positioning the other one, it shifts outward and the notches in the RAM are no longer inside the deep slot.
Once I put the other side in, the RAM immediately shifts to the edge and pushing it in won't work because it will be pushing on solid edge...the locks are fully open too.
I don't know how to explain it visually, but everything looks as it should be, yet the bottom notches on the RAM itself does not fit into the slot with both sides "in", they are on the edges...
